similar to: joining xp to domain

I'm running Samba on a Mac OS X server, and the server is a member of a Windows domain (Windows 2003). Samba is setup for security=domain permissions. I have opened up a file share to the Windows machines named AppDeployment. I'm able to open \\xserve\AppDeployment on a Windows server, and am able to create directories and copy files in there. (Btw, when i attempt to "net

I am running Samba 3.0.5 on OS X 10.3.8 Server. It's the stock Samba supplied by Apple with no modifications. I am running a variety of shares on the system to around 50 PC clients. I came into the office this morning with a dead Xserve... could not login, could not ping or ssh into the system. Users in the office could not even browse the network. When they tried to browse the

i'm trying to get samba 3.0 alpha 19 runing on OS X 10.2 working as a PDC with Win XP clients using an LDAP passdb backend i've managed to get it so i can connect to shares with smbclient but whenever i try to join one of the XP machine to the domain Windows tells give me the message "the specified network name no longer exists". when i check the logfile the last thing in it is

I have a win2k domain ... 2 of the client machines are Red Hat (7.3 and 8.0). I set everything up to use the DC to authenticate ID/PW. Everything worked perfectly until a week or so ago ... Samba would automatically create a home folder and the whole nine yards. Now I can see the shares on the Samba machines, but I can't access them ... just prompts for the ID/PW over and over. I can mount

Hi, I've finally been dragged kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of XP. I've been able to join a domain and login with the help of the docs on samba.org and gleaning info from this list. Google and I don't get along. My question is How do I get the logon script to run when XP logs in? Win 98 doesn't have a problem running the logon script. Here is part of the

Can anyone provide me a few suggestions? I installed Redhat 8.0 on my laptop. XP Pro on my windows box. I am using Samba/SWAT at the moment as well. I have the basic smb.conf that I took from the example folder and made no changes except opening the public share. (unfortunately I am at work so I cant show exactly what I have). I also added the workgroup = line under [global] and added my

Hello, We are having this issue with samba and OSX 10.2.3. We are using freebsd4.7 serving samba as a fileserver for our company, we have a mix of windows and macs connecting to it. The windows machines work just fine the macs are another story. I have narrowed it down to this: I can open a file/document from the fileserver on my mac and edit it but it tells me I dont have the permissions to

I've attached an Apple XServe to our Windows domain, and have successfully setup all the Active Directory integration. I've been able to expose a file share to Windows via Samba from the XServe, but it's still requring a guest account login. For example, when i try and open <file://\\xserve\AppStorage> \\xserve\AppStorage from the Windows Explorer, it shows a username/pwd

Hi everyone, I am struggling to promote a samba 3.0.10 standalone server to a BDC, because it cannot contact the PDC which is on a different subnet connected via a VPN. Having lost several days I believe this may be because it Samba is broadcasting WINS domain discovery requests on its local subnet, which of course it not reaching the PDC as broadcasts are not sent across the VPN. The PDC is

Through my Server Admin, a graph of Samba "connected users" shows that the number of smbd server processes grows and grows without end -- processes never time out/log out and die. This was no problem under light usage, but when I moved a heavily used share to the server, the number of processes spun out of control. What made it all worse was that many of the supposedly dormant

Is there a place that has all the options that you can add to the smb.conf file in verion 3. How to set up as a domain controller and how the acl's work. The documentation for verion 2.x on the samba web site is excellent , but I was not able to find any for 3.x. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if there was a %{char} that would give me the windows version or something equivalent so that Windows XP specific "stuff" doesn't get stuck with Windows 2000 "stuff". Thanks for the help. --Kaleb PS: Please CC me as I'm not on the list.

We are using SAMBA 2.2.4 to support a large community of Windows users. The latest deployment of PC's come with Windows XP, and we need to disable Password Encryption on those to use SAMBA. We need help in locating the "EnablePlainTextPassword" key. Thanks in advance Jaime A Cifuentes

I have a mac running Mac OS X ans samba 2.2.5 which is provided by Apple. The Linux server have samba 2.2.8 (the last one). Sometimes, in the server logs, you have: [2003/03/26 14:26:30, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436) read_data: read failure for 4. Error = No route to host in this case, the Macclient lost the samba connection and has to reboot because a silly error (Mac error: -47, %

Hoping someone can give me a pointer on this: I'm trying to connect a Mac OS X 10.2.6 machine to Samba 2.2.8 hosted on a Linux 2.2.20 machine. I can authenticate, connect to a share, navigate through. I can even delete and move files. But, whenever I try to save a file in most programs, or copy a file in the Finder, I'm told that I don't have the privileges to do it. Strangely

Hello List, I have a bit of a strange problem with an OS 10.3.3 XServe (Samba 3.0.2) that I've inherited from a previous sysadmin ;). It's a bit hard to describe but I'll do my best and include applicable log files and the smb.conf. Ok, first of all this machine is bound to our Active Directory domain and authenticates users there (security = ads). It uses the Windows 2000 DC

I thought that it was quite impossible to do that due to the Domain SID as well as the SAM list that currently Samba is unable to retrieve. (Not that it would have helped me any, since our old NT 4.0 PDC took a major Hardware failure.) How would one duplicate the SID, is that possible with 'smbpasswd -S' from the new Samba DC?

Hi, I have a need to do some file transfers between my AIX 4.3.3 boxes and Apple PC's. I use SAMBA to provide shares to PC's, but I know nothing about Apple. FTP is an option, but less desirable than setting up a share. Does anyone have experience with using SAMBA to set up shares with Apple clients? I know that there are, other products to accomplish what I ask, but in terms of support

I have a PDC which is a Sun280R with Solaris 8 running PCNetlink2.0 (effectively a WindowsNT4.0 server) I want to join a Apple G5 with MacOSX10.3.3 (Samba 3.0) as a domain member of the above PDC. It will not allow me to do this and has lots of "master browser - unknown" in the logs of the Apple. I have the IP address in the same range as the PDC and have the netmask set the same
